What is Net Zero Week?

Every organization, across every industry needs to radically reduce carbon emissions to combat the effects of climate change. BSI’s Net Zero Week is back to bring awareness of the work being done across key sectors to meet global carbon emission targets.

To help highlight the scale of the Net Zero challenge and provide the best expert advice and latest industry updates in support of organizations who strive to understand their role in reducing carbon emissions and working toward ambitious Net Zero targets, we have run a series webinars highlights what the seven key sectors doing to cut emissions and net zero. 

The webinars were initially broadcasted in April 2022.

The financial sector can play a unique role in mobilizing capital to facilitate the transition to net zero, but needs greater integrity to build trust in financial products and related services. This webinar explores the drivers of change, and how standards can help the industry adopt and demonstrate the principles of sustainable finance, so accelerating the necessary market transformation.  

This session will explore the latest net zero commitments and developments impacting the energy sector, including challenges, solutions, key learnings, action points and the role of standards in enabling the sector’s net zero journey.

BSI’s Net Zero Week provides a multi-sectoral view of the collective challenges that must be met for the UK to reach our net zero carbon emissions target by 2050. This session looks at current challenges for the food sector around performance, and outlines some key initiatives towards achieving net zero in the food chain.  

This session will update the sector on the latest developments helping the built environment achieve net zero, specifically:

• The concrete industry’s route map to net zero and the role of new materials
• How the revision to PAS 2080 on carbon management is incorporating new thinking
• The latest developments on how new energy efficiency products can be included in funded whole-house retrofits and standards

The health and care system in England is responsible for an estimated 4 – 5 per cent of the country’s carbon footprint – so has a major role to play in supporting the net zero target. The NHS has therefore committed to reaching net zero as soon as possible.

As part of BSI’s Net Zero Week, this webinar will explore several areas critical to carbon reduction in healthcare. Presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion and Q&A.

This webinar explores the vital role that accurate, trustworthy and shared data plays in informing sustainability-related decisions, and how connecting digital technologies with physical infrastructure (sometimes called cyber-physical systems, or cyber-physical infrastructure) can translate this into reduced CO₂ emissions.

We’re going to engage with the issues and challenges that consumers face when making the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). We’ll look at what’s driving policy and the other initiatives that aim to improve the consumer experience of charging EVs on the public network, including the introduction of the upcoming PAS 1899 to support more accessible charge point design.
